On September 11, 2001, the plane - one of four commandeered by Al-Qaeda militants - crashed into a field in the small town of Shanksville, about 130 miles (200 kilometers) northwest of Washington.

Americans looked back on 9-11 Tuesday with tears and sombre tributes as President Donald Trump hailed "the moment when America fought back" on one of the hijacked planes used as weapons in the deadliest terror attack on USA soil. Trump isn't just incapable of doing or saying anything remotely presidential; he's incapable of ever acting like a human being, in any context, with any amount of empathy or compassion or dignity.

Ceremonies are also being held at New York City's9/11 Memorial plaza on the World Trade Center site.

The catastrophe saw 2,996 people lose their lives and more than 6,000 injured.

Trump remembered the almost 3,000 people killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and aboard Flight 93, which went down in Shanksville.

"We grieve together for every mother, father, sister and brother, son and daughter who was stolen from us at the twin towers, at the Pentagon and here in this Pennsylvania field", he continued.

Mr Trump praised the passengers' "incredible valour" and said their revolt was "the moment America fought back".

The 40 passengers and crew of the doomed plane "attacked the enemy", Trump said in a speech.
